A Handful of Time
“But then Grandfather Mayberry was not the ordinary person, even to begin with. When Walter—I don’t think it’s respectful to refer to your grandfather as Walter, either, but we were never allowed to call him anything else. He was frequently referred to in the family as Yankee Walter, but no one ever said it to his face. It happened that his mother, great-grandfather’s first wife, was from Massachusetts and because of this everyone always thought of Walter as being a little bit different. I thi...nk maybe this might account for a lot of Walter’s peculiarities. I mean when people expect you to be a little peculiar all the time—well, as Walter’s descendant I can understand how he felt. Whenever anyone mentions something like Protointegrationist somebody looks a little guiltily over at me as though I caused the second secession and whoever mentions it in front of me is being tactless.
I was only a child then.
And I remember thinking it was awful to secede and not have anybody care.MoreLess
